I would think this is a real DC-3/C-47 or whatever. It looks too real to
be one of the fakes and it does look like the rudder was just covered with
aluminum or something to replace the fabric. It certainly isn't airworthy
but no doubt meets their needs.

It has a door on the right side of the fuselage, but I do not remember which
series of that line was built with a right hand door.

David Tallishet (sp) who owned the 94 Aero Squadron and also restaurants
under similar names (something like xxx bomb group) is a aircraft
collector.
Since he could never get enough real warbirds he evidently built lots of
fake airplanes to scatter around his restaurants to carry out the theme.

The 94th. at PIE (St. Pete-Clearwater Intl.) had several WW I airplanes
like
Fokker tripes, and SPAD's etc. The unit down at MIA had a real
C-47/DC-3,
not sure which never took time to really look at it. and the unit at PBI
had
some WWII fighters.


Is this one of them???
Taken at New Castle, DE, by a resturant with several trucks and jeeps.
